Privacy policy

Last updated 6 November 2026

NakiTek is a website and app filter for phones. It keeps away the sites and apps you, or the person who set up the phone, don’t want. This page says what the NakiTek app and the NakiTek service collect, why, who else sees it, how long it is kept, and how to have it deleted. It covers the Android app (com.nakitek.filter), the customer portal, the block page and NakiTek’s server.

In short: NakiTek needs the names of the websites your phone looks up and the list of apps on your phone, so it can decide what to allow. It does not read your messages, passwords, typing, photos, contacts or location. It does not sell your data, show ads, or use advertising or analytics trackers.

What we collect, and why

• Your email address and password. To make your account and let you sign in. The password is stored in a form nobody, including us, can read.
• Your settings. Your plan, the categories you switched on, your allow-list, your exceptions and PIN unlocks. Your PIN is stored in a form nobody can read.
• The names of websites your phone looks up (for example example.com, never the full address, the page you read, or anything you type), so NakiTek can decide what to allow. We keep:
  • a list of the site names each phone has looked up, with the date it first asked for each, so we can review new sites and keep the rules right;
  • a list of what was blocked on each phone, with how many times and when it was last blocked, so NakiTek support can help when something you need is blocked.
  Both lists are deleted automatically after 14 days. We do not keep a history of each visit.
• The apps installed on your phone (each app’s name). So you can choose which apps are allowed, and so blocked apps can be closed.
• Which app made a lookup. So an app you allowed keeps working. This is not linked to your phone.
• Phone status. Such as the NakiTek version and when the phone last checked in, so the filter stays up to date and working.
• Network addresses (IP). Used only for security, such as stopping someone from guessing codes or PINs, and kept for a few days at most.

What the app does on your phone

• VPN. NakiTek runs a VPN on the phone itself, only to check the names of the websites the phone looks up. The rest of your internet traffic does not go through NakiTek.
• Accessibility service (“browser watch”). If you turn it on, NakiTek reads only the address bar of your web browsers, to show the “This site is blocked” screen, and notices which app is opened, to send you home from an app you blocked. It does not read the content of pages, messages, other apps, or anything you type. What it reads is checked and then discarded, not stored.
• Device admin and device owner. Only if you choose to turn them on, so NakiTek is not removed or switched off on impulse. They are not used to collect anything.
• Installing and removing apps. Used only to keep NakiTek itself up to date and to remove NakiTek when you ask. It never installs or removes any other app.
• On the phone itself the app keeps its settings, its link to your account and recent allow or block answers, so it does not have to ask the server every time. Removing the app deletes them.

Who else sees it

We do not sell or rent your data, and we do not share it for advertising. We use a few trusted service providers to run NakiTek: for hosting and storage, sending email, notifying the app, and finding out what kind of site or app something is. They use your data only to provide that service to us.

When we look up what kind of site or app something is, only its name is sent, never your email address, your phone, or anything else about you. We would only give data to anyone else if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

• Each phone’s list of site names it looked up, and of what was blocked: 14 days, then deleted automatically.
• Your account, settings and phone records: while your account is open.
• When a phone is removed from your account, everything about it is deleted with it: its settings, app list, what was blocked and the sites it looked up.
• Security and activity records, such as sign-ins: from a day up to 90 days.
• Database backups: 30 days, then deleted. So anything deleted above is gone from the backups too within 30 days.
• Site names and their categories, with no link to any phone, may be kept to filter for everyone.

Your choices

• You can see and change your settings and allow-list in the customer portal, and see recent blocks in the app’s “What was blocked” screen.
• You can turn the browser watch off in Android’s Accessibility settings at any time. Filtering keeps working; only the blocked-site screen and closing blocked apps stop.
• To delete a phone or your whole account, or to get a copy of your data, email support@nakitek.com. We will do it within 30 days, and backups age out 30 days after that.

Security

Everything sent between the app, the website and our server is encrypted. Passwords and PINs are stored in a form nobody can read, and each phone has its own key that is changed regularly.

Who NakiTek is for

NakiTek is for anyone who wants a filtered phone, adults and young people alike. An account is opened by an adult. When the phone is used by a child or teenager, their parent or guardian opens the account, sets up the phone and agrees to this policy for them; we collect nothing more about a young person than about anyone else.

NakiTek is not made for secretly watching anyone: it shows clearly on the phone whenever it is running, and it does not read messages, typing or the content of pages and apps.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top. Questions: support@nakitek.com.
